The Gundam series’ new traveling exhibition event, Gundam World CONTRAST in Nagoya, will be held at the Parco Gallery on the 6th floor in the west building of Nagoya PARCO in Aichi Prefecture starting Friday, December 24, 2021.
It was developed as a Gundam event that’s never been held before as it takes the charms of both Mobile Suit Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, digs deeply through them from various angles, and interweaves them in a display that contrasts them.
The display corner is split up into four areas that contrast the series from different angles like their historical backgrounds, famous scenes, or how the main characters grow throughout the story. In the sales corner, there are various kinds of limited edition merchandise for sale including GUNPLA that can’t be bought anywhere but here, apparel goods, and sundries.
Presale tickets are available until 8:00 PM the day before and come in two types, the regular presale ticket and the presale ticket with a limited Haropla, that are currently available for sale on E+. There will be same-day tickets available at the venue. Also, same-day tickets will be available at the venue for 1,000 yen (incl. tax) for adults and 500 yen (incl. tax) for children.
Participants will receive a Gundam World CONTRAST Limited Design Special Promotion Card that can be used on the latest arcade card game, Mobile Suit Gundam Arsenal Base (scheduled to be released in early spring 2022), as a freebie when they arrive at the venue.
There will also be items available for sale like the event-limited RG Gundam & Aile Strike Gundam Set [Gundam World CONTRAST Color], so don’t miss this chance! The event will be held until Sunday, January 16, 2022.
